I would have to agree with wobbly_ears...the 2009 model year was a refresh over the '08. So it would most likely go into '10. With the Genesis receiving a refresh to make it look a little more like the Equus, the Azera would probably get something of a re-fresh so that it shares similarities with the Sonata. Just a guess on that though.

I am considering a used 2008 Azera, both front door body side moldings are open, looked like unfinished on the back end towards the door opening. Would both sides break or were these moldings replaced and cut to fit then not finished on the ends?

Edscrz...pictures would really help with this, however...if you're buying it from a dealer, I would either negotiate a lower price for the fact its an issue you'll have to take care of, or give the dealer the opportunity to correct it. You can also look at taking it to a Hyundai dealer and getting it fixed under warranty as I'm sure by it being an '08 that some of the OEM warranty would still be in effect.
If you're buying from a private seller, negotiate the price based on what you feel you'll have to spend to correct that issue.

Is it true that Hyundia will not produce or sell the Azera after 2010?

I saw one in the dealership today. It has a fin-type roof antenna cover, hiding the GPS and XM radio antenna. No other major differences.

The Edmunds New Car site (the one that shows MSRP, Invoice, and TMV pricing) shows the 2010 Azera with 8 exterior color options versus the six that were offered in 2009. Espresso Pearl, Silk Beige Metallic, and Venetian Red Pearl are new for 2010. Metallic Blue Pearl which was offered in 2009 is not available for 2010.
BTW, I remember one member in another discussion who said "...there will be no more Azeras beginning in MY2010." I'm glad she was wrong.

There were a few predicting the demise of the Azera after the '09 model year. They were simply the ones that seem to think the Azera is one of the most dreadful cars on the road today.

Yep, they would love to see nothing but elimination of every Hyundai model from Elantra & up. Helps them with their interpretation of what a 'real' automaker is.
Btw, I have also seen a 2010 Azera on dealer lots here in Houston.

Considering Hyundai is ranked in the top 5 as an automaker...that in itself should offer substance to the fact that Hyundai is indeed a 'real' automaker. Some are just in denial and forget that Honda & Toyota both didn't have pristine starts here in the U.S. I mean...the term "jap crap" came about becuase of the poor quality that was put into the early models coming from Japan. However, they stuck with it and realized they had to improve quality if they planned on sticking around and flourished over the years. Hyundai is doing the very same thing, and it drives the Japanese stalwarts crazy that a supposed inferior S. Korean automaker could possibly offer legitimate competition. With this planet growing smaller on a daily basis, with playing fields being leveled because of accessibility to technology or the people that create it...why is it so far fetched to believe? Personally...I love it!!!
